In an electron-photon coincidence experiment the linear polarization of atomic-field bremsstrahlung was measured for a fixed direction of outgoing electrons. A polarization of P = --0.96 plus or minus 0.32 was found which is in agreement with theoretical calculation. Electrons of 300 keV are used, incident on a carbon target. (auth)
